Sergei and Larry's arrest should be a doozie

While Kim has some cash and nice toys, I can't imagine his resources are quite up to par with Larry and Sergei - you know the dudes who run the big video pirating site and the illegal file distribution network known as Google Drive.

Be interesting to see if they keel over or have a cinematic 007 style escape plan.

You'd think with all those sensors and apps there might be one to turn off the juice before the fire breaks out.

The next one will tbe iPad elements. You know the various stages an iPad goes through in it's life time - (rare) Earth, Air, Fire, Water - I guess it's end state would of course be Carbon - hey wasn't that a Mac API?

So what you're saying is that currently for a month or two, yet, twitter is the platform of choice for the social media aware crook.

Actually I have not problem with this sort of page.

The pollies like to claim we live in a democracy, the police, nameless agencies and the defense force claim to be defending a democracy.

In a democracy you have free speech. Well in Australia we don't, but we're not really a democracy, we're a parlimentary monarchy.

But we do have implied political free speech (apparently).

If naming a narc is not political speech what is?

If we were Libyans figthing the Gaddaffi regime (or what's left of it) this would be a victory for social media.

We need to decide.

Which is it.

Are social networks to be used to create open societies - yes and de-frocking narcs is part of the open society .

BTW face book is not the first nor will it be the last platform that offers this service, e.g.:

I'd say the narcs just have to get used to a brave new world.

Let's just say this perhaps in a zen bhuddist sort of way balances the fact they want to perform traffic analysis on every one in Australia's data for ever. And he drones that they will invariably have for watching us in the next 3-5 years.

Meh FTP (it 's file transfer protocol, honest officer).

Bah HUMBUG!!

Now if my traffic goes through the US I'll be on the department of health services watch list - because I've said certain words in this post.

For example I'm under the impression that things like binos and goggles can be rendered laswer safe with a coating or laminate.

Give the pilots or at least one pilot said glasses, like the coldwar days when it was alleged NEACP and Looking Glass pilots wore an eyepatch, so they'd have a good eye in the event they weere blinded by a nuke flash.

Or treat the cockpit windows.

Oh yeah and issue a laser detector and a hellfire, to each civil airliner.
